CBU Night at the Nest

Cape Breton University’s Night at the Nest returns on Thursday, January 22, 2026, as the Cape Breton Eagles take on the Halifax Mooseheads at Centre 200!

Each year, Night at the Nest brings together students, employees, alumni and community members for a high-energy game night celebrating Cape Breton University. Expect a full rink, plenty of orange in the stands and a strong sense of CAPERS pride throughout the evening.

Tickets
Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased in person at the Alumni and Development Office, located on the first floor of MacDonald Residence. Ticket sales begin Tuesday, January 13.

While there is a small cost to attend this year, the experience remains the same. Introducing a modest ticket price helps support the delivery and long-term sustainability of events like Night at the Nest, ensuring this annual celebration can continue for years to come.

Jersey raffle
Once again, fans will have the chance to win one of 23 game-worn Cape Breton Eagles jerseys. One hundred per cent of raffle proceeds will support the Kehoe Forum. Dave Gillis of Gillis Home Building Centre will be a Matching Raffle Ticket Partner for CBU Night at the Nest. He has pledged to match all ticket sales, up to $5,000 in supporting the Kehoe Forum.

Game starts at 7:00 PM with a CBU social in the main concourse from 6:00 – 7:00 PM – Join us for a great night of hockey, school spirit and community connection!
